The right tyres to buy?

[VR6-DUB 3]

As the title says my vr6 will need a set of new tyres fitted at all 4 corners very soon, how do you go about choosing what brand tyres to choose?

The size tyres i will use will be 205 / 50 / 15, with a 35mm or 40mm drop all round.

its personal preference mate, lots of peeps will tell you to go for something different tbh - I would say afford the best tyres that your budget will allow

[craggsy 91]

Cheap and good id say kumho ku31, i have a set on mine and very good, other swill say toyo t1r

I always buy budget stuff such as Nankang.... I believe they are part of yoko n i think they great for the price

Im with Craggsy. Get some Toyo's if you can afford them, they are brilliant. Ive got some Falken 452's at the mo and are pretty impresive.

craggsy didnt say get toyo's he said get KUMHO i run Toyo's tho

[Timah89 1]

It's all about budget, how much do you want to spend?

For budget tyres I've got Nankangs at the moment and they're very good value but not the best in the wet. Toyos and Kumhos are all good value... I found toyo PX4 lasted better than T1-Rs

I run Kumhos on my 15" winter wheels and seem real good... ill be getting Toyos for my 17" summer wheels though

on my vr im using Yokohama Parada Spec 2 very very good grip haven t tryed them in the wet but my mates said they are the best !!

ive got parada spec2 tryes please note u will need to drop to 195/50/15 as yoko dont make 205 wide spec2's in 15"

[Pearsy47 1]

ive got parada spec2 tryes please note u will need to drop to 195/50/15 as yoko dont make 205 wide spec2's in 15"

Pearsy, I'm in Sussex, it rains! How come not in the wet yet....or are they very new?

[Knightrider 1]

Toyo T1Rs all round. Very impressed. Wear is good, grip great and really pretty cheap on the interwobbler. Also quite quiet....which is nice.

i think goodyear eagle F1s are really good... had toyos and they where mint as well but think the F1s are better.. parada spec2 are ment to be good also

have a look at the tyre rattings on the internet... eagle F1s where at the top but then michanin brought some tyres out that where ment to be better.. can't remember what model now.

try somthing you haven't run before, they soon get munched away anyway... got some nankangs atm and there feel dangerous when you leave F1s... might try some parada spec2 next but if i can get hold of F1s id get them again...

there all good mate.. you will be impressed regarding grip what ever performance tryes you get. you might want to look into tyre life and what condtions there better in to make it easyer

[craggsy 91]

You will always get different responses for tyres. Personally I love pirelli pzeros and think they are fantastic with good grip wet or dry. Dunlop sport sp9000 are great tyres in the dry but not as hood as pirelli pzero in my eyes.

For outright grip I love my R888s

[Rikki 2]

toyos are bit soft and will wear quick. i run kumhos too.....very impressed so far!

i run hankook ventus prime , got to say they are really good , nice in the wet good in the dry low road noise and not to expensive . i will go for them again i think !

[spadam 7]

To many out there just try some and if you dont like them you will be changing them within 6 months anyway.

Wow quiet a response so far, my budget is about give or take about £300 mark, on my mulberry i had dunlop sport 01 tyres, which seemed pretty good but my new black vr needs a set soon, i was thinking of getting the same dunlops or the toyo proxes t1r seem to be a popular choice.
